JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville Fire and Rescue fire truck failed to slow Saturday causing an accident with two other vehicles on Beach Boulevard east of Spring Glen Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The driver of the fire engine, Thomas Harmon, 45, failed to slow his vehicle enough to avoid a collision, causing the front of it to make contact with the rear of the Durango.

The force of the impact caused the front of the pickup to make contact with the rear of the minivan.

Minor injuries were reported to one of the passengers inside of the Caravan.
